On October 24, 2012, the Beaver County Commissioners proclaimed November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month in our County. The goal of this proclamation to was make the residents of Beaver County aware that if you have lungs, you can get lung cancer.

The Proclamation states, "WHEREAS, the County of Beaver demonstrates its commitment by making lung cancer a public health priority, in supporting advocacy work on behalf of lung cancer patients and all those at risk for the disease, and by offering support and care for all those in our community affected by lung cancer."

It goes on to say, "the Board of Commissioners of Beaver County recognizes November 2013 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in Honor of Donald Naugle and Mark LaValle, and urge Beaver County citizens to join our effort to defeat lung cancer."

This proclamation was made at the request of We Wish, a non-profit founded to fund lung cancer research and patient education, and our friend, Tori LaValle. We are honored and humbled that the memories of our father and grandfather, Donald Naugle, and Tori's father, Mark LaValle, will never be forgotten.
